Is autonomous-dial-a-ride (ADART) and idea whose time has come with the advent of technologies. This report describes the essential features of an experimental ADART service and establishes a context for ADART implementation based on urban transit industry characteristics. ADART is a demand-responsive transit service with fully automated dispatching and autonomously managed vehicles carrying all command-and-control facilities onboard. This technical overview consists of four chapters/papers. It begins with an introductory overview of ADART, followed by deliberations on the prospects for ADART implementation in terms of historical precedent, logistics, and costs. The third and fourth chapters review the state-of-the-art of technologies crucial to ADART operations--mobile communications and vehicle navigation hardware and software systems. The final chapters present study conclusions. ADART is a flexible system that may be the answer for transit services to low-density areas.
